Surely ‘Methods is the Rationality book’ is the conclusion, and “If you’re having trouble writing, the last thing you need is another book, competing for your attention” is the evidence?
I refer to the quotes and context. Alicorn made a claim ‘this is not generally true’ with a specific quote included. You directly contradicted that. You are wrong and Alicorn is right.
I am largely indifferent to the role your claim makes for your ‘MoR is the book idea’. It is just wrong.
Sorry, despite this joke having been somewhat derailed, I don’t understand what you mean.
I gave the line about not wanting distractions as evidence for MoR being the book; Alicorn pointed out this was silly. I’m not sure where you think I contradicted her (unless you mean by saying, “But my theory is interesting; how can the supporting evidence not be true?!”, I didn’t reply to her, except to ask a question, let alone respond), or why we’re pursuing this conversation.
Supporting evidence isn’t what Alicorn contradicted. She contradicted your absolute claim (last thing...)
